That's it what the lawsuit is about here. It was the fraudulent misrepresentation of the investments that was illegal.
I dont believe for a second anyone thought these werent risky investments.
You didnt read the whole article. All of these firms also did fraud, not just misrepresenting the risks.
That's because you and I aren't complete fools. But when you pay a bunch of celebrities to talk about their apes, coins, and other moronic shit on national and international TV, less aware people tend to be duped. It's a confidence scam, after all.
